This is certainly a problem. As farms become larger and cost of operating machinery gets higher, for some crops/grains, using herbicides as dessicants is becoming the norm.
Glyphosate is used during pre harvest for dessication than as a herbicide. And it’s approved. Canadians have just started cracking down on this so organic standards are maintained. This is a whole another can of worms(also drift) due to massive increase in scale and size of farming because we just have too many mouths to feed.
- randomdata 6y agoWhen was it never not the norm, save 50+ years ago when glyphosate wasn't commercially available? Around here, I don't think I've seen a pickup head used in my entire lifetime. Still see an occasional one sitting in the scrap heap.
